Overview

• Cleveland begins training camp with five quarterbacks on the roster: Deshaun Watson, Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, third-round draftee Dillon Gabriel and fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders.
• Shedeur Sanders showcased accuracy and decisiveness in OTAs but did not receive any first-team repetitions during spring sessions.
• Veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett led first-team work in spring while Dillon Gabriel maintained a higher depth-chart position than Sanders.
• General manager Andrew Berry called Sanders “mispriced relative to the draft” and has endorsed an open, merit-based competition for playing time.
• Ongoing doubts about this quarterback group have prompted ESPN mock drafts to project the Browns using their 2026 No. 1 overall pick on Clemson’s Cade Klubnik if no contender emerges.
